Flying Eagles attacking midfielder Michael Olaitan will begin training with Olympiakos this week.

Olaitain, who was one of the standout players in the Flying Eagles squad that failed to qualify for the quarter-finals of the ongoing Fifa Under 20 World Cup, will arrive the Greek capital Athens on Monday if there are no last minute changes to his travel plan.

Olympiakos, current champions of Greece, are scheduled to start pre - season training today, Sunday, but Olaitan was given special permission to join the squad 24 hours later due to his participation at the World Cup.

The 20 - year - old is expected to be named in the squad traveling to Seefeld, Austria on Tuesday, July 9 for pre- season training.

In Austria, Olympiakos will  play exhibition matches against Simurg (July 16) and Freiburg (July 18).
